Sorry..no salmonids in this one.. just the results from a shore fishing trip off Belcarra

17 inch (43 cm) starry flounder caught off the beach, just south of the crabbing dock...the biggest specimen I've seen out here so far!

The 2 keepers for the day- the top one is a rock sole (~12 inches), caught quite regularly from shore during an incoming tide. Also caught and released lots of staghorn sculpins and 1 speckled sanddab.

Very nice TimL! I was actually wandering around there today (not fishing, just with a camera) after reading your introduction. I walked all the way down to Maple Bay to see if there are potential spots away from the crowd. The pier doesn't seem that bad. Plenty of users but the family-oriented atmosphere is quite nice, everyone seemed to be obeying the regulations by checking each crab. I'll have to wet a line there soon.

Thanks! When were you there today? The above fish were caught sometime around 12:30-1:15 during flood tide..lingered on the beach till about 2:15 or so before moving to the pier- I was casting off the high/lookout point. Didn't catch much out there-just a sanddab and a sculpin.. at that time the tide was already turning slack and the action was winding down.I've tried fishing off Cod Rock, which is midway between the picnic area and Admiralty Point...caught greenling and sole off there.
